Description

This app is a rockhound guide to the Bay of Fundy zeolites and other collectible minerals.

All this info is contained within the more-expensive and larger Fundy Mineral Collecting app. So if you have that one already, you don't need this.

Fundy Minerals does however work on rare devices such as PlayBook tablets which cannot use the Android Maps library.

You must install this app before submitting a review.

A recent and on-going study ( http://www.frontiersinzoology.com/content/pdf/1742-9994-10-80.pdf ) notes that dogs tend to align their bodies along a north-south axis when defecating or urinating.

Preliminary research suggests that dogs may have an internal compass to sense the direction of Magnetic North. You may have observed your own dog twirling to and fro for no apparent reason prior to 'going about their business'.

This app provides a convenient tool to measure and record your own dog's 'crapping alignment' and assist in this research project.

USING THE APPNote: If not already on, the Location setting should be enabled on your phone. Depending on the version of Android go to Settings and select Location>Use GPS Satellites or in newer versions SETTINGS>LOCATION>MODE and choose High Accuracy. In urban settings, the Use Wi-Fi or Battery Saving Mode may be sufficient. If the GPS was not previously turned on, it takes up to 3 minutes to establish a signal and requires a clear view of the sky to find the satellites.

First step after you install the app is to tap the Setup button near the bottom left of the landing page screen. This will redirect to a second screen,

SET-UP INFO

1) SET EMAILFirst after you install the app is to tap the Setup button near the bottom left of the landing page screen. This will redirect to a second screen, Set-Up Info.

Enter your chosen email into the upper Edit Box. Then tap the yellow Enter Email Above button to save your email to the phone memory. Tap the third box down Review Email Setting to confirm it. You only set your email the first time using the app.

2) SET DOG PROFILESOn the Set-up page, there are three menus, BREED, AGE and SEX. Select the option which describes your dog. Then type the dog's name. When all four items are complete tap the yellow button Enter Dog Info Above to save. Tap Review Dog Settings to check it. For more than one dog, repeat.This only needs to be done when you first install the app, or to add a new dog,.

3) PREPARE TO TAKE A READINGReturn to the Main Page and the dog names appear at the top of the drop-down menu on the right. To the left is an optional Comment.

Below are three menus Circle, Act and Leash. These are mandatory but can be selected either before or after you set the Compass reading.

The first is the direction the dog circles, either CLW for clockwise or CCL for counter-clockwise. Next is the menu Ac to choose between DEF for defecation or URI for urination.The rightmost menu Leash has ON for on-leash or OFF.

4)TAKE THE COMPASS READINGNext align the phone with the long axis of your dog when it starts to go. Hold the phone horizontally with the top of the phone pointing toward the dog's head and parallel to the dog's spine. Best if the dog is off-leash and free to spin around.

There are two ways to record the alignment, and both do the same thing. Either tap the dog picture in the center, or the green button RECORD.

The text on the green button changes to SET, and a red button appears at the bottom titled SEND.

Select the circling direction, the action and the leash status, and the dog name from the four menus before you proceed.

5) TAP THE SEND BUTTONFinally, tap the red button titled SEND. If all the info is entered, a popup box will say Recorded and the red button will disappear.

If any info was not entered properly, warnings will popup and no recording will be sent. But if all is OK, tapping the SEND button will send an email to your account and a reading be automatically posted to the research database.

The email will include the alignment in degrees, the dog's name and the location and time.

Clicking the link in the email takes you to a map showing the site on Google Maps.

This app makes rapid geo-tagged records of field observations which are then shown as icons on a map and also sent as emails to yourself and your office. These emails have a link to Google Maps with the site highlighted and the description included

The destination emails need only be set one time, when the app is first installed, and are remembered after that.

The observations might be problems noted like fallen or diseased trees, damage to trails, litter or unauthorized ATV sightings.

Frequent categories of reports can be labelled and color-coded, and these names then appear on a drop-down menu.

The reports can be made either at your actual location or at any point selected on a map.

A recent and on-going study ( http://www.frontiersinzoology.com/content/pdf/1742-9994-10-80.pdf ) notes that dogs tend to align their bodies along a north-south axis when defecating.

It appears that dogs have an internal compass to sense the direction of Magnetic North. You may have observed your dog twirling to and fro for no apparent reason prior to 'going about their business'.

This app provides a convenient tool to measure and record your own dog's 'crapping alignment' and verify this unusual behavior.

You set your home email the first time using the app, and afterward your phone will remember it for future use. The results of your successive observations are automatically emailed to this account for your records.

USING THE APP

1) Set the dataTo set your home email tap the Setup button near the bottom left of the landing page screen. This will redirect to a second screen, Load User Info.

On this screen, enter your chosen email into the upper Edit Box and the dog breed into the lower Edit Box. You then tap the appropriate Enter buttons to save this info. You can verify that everything recorded correctly using the Review buttons. These settings need only be made the first time you use the app. For subsequent observations at later dates, this info is recalled from the phone memory.

2) Align the phone with the axis of your dog's spine when it starts to go.

3) Tap the Record ButtonThis will cause an email to be sent to your designated account. This message will include the alignment in degrees, whether that result is aligned with the north/south axis, the dog breed, the location and the time.

Clicking the link takes you to a map showing the site on Google Maps.

TIPS FOR RECORDING OBSERVATIONS Only measure unleashed dogs in an open terrain. The dog has to have free access to the defecation place from all directions (it must not be constrained in any way). Do not observe your dog near high-voltage power lines or railways.

Measure the direction along the spine into the direction of the head (as illustrated at top); if the dog turns its head, still note only the direction along the spine and not of the head.

Please choose the breed of your dog from the following list: \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dog_breeds

This app turns your Android phone into a a sound-activated video recording device.

To use it you need only to select an appropriate noise level (in decibels) that will trigger the recording function, find a good place to locate the phone, and then click Tap To Start.

The default noise level setting is 65 db, about equivalent to a low conversation across a room. By tapping the drop-down menu, you can choose another setting as required.

If the decibel threshhold is set too sensitive (low) then the many recordings will eventually fill the space on the phone's internal memory. Always set it for the maximum level which suits your needs.

The phone should be laying on its left edge, with the back facing the area to be watched.

The app is designed to make no noise and to block the tendency of the phone to go to sleep.

It does not require that the phone charger be plugged in, although that might be a good idea if the phone is not being hidden somewhere.

The first clip is not recorded but it just used to help set up the camera angle.

The video recordings are 30 seconds in length and there is a 3 second gap before the next one begins to allow time to save the file.

After a recording clip is completed, its name is added to the top of the list on the lower drop-down menu. Therefore the most recent file is always at the top and moving down the list shows older recordings.

The file names have four parts, separated by dashes. The first is the hour, the second the minutes and the third the second on which the recording ended. The fourth number which is followed by 'db' is the maximum decibel level of the recording.

You can delete all the recordings by tapping Delete All. You are then prompted Confirm? to make sure that you really want to do that. Tap this again and all those files will be removed from the phone memory and from the dropdown menu list. (You also have the option of deleting a single recording selected from the drop-down menu.)

To stop the app while it is recording, wait for the gap between recordings and then click the button on the main page labelled Tap To Stop.

To replay a file, select it from the menu list and tap Replay. This sends you to a another page with a view window where your selection will start.

On this second page, there are three buttons. On the left is the Replay button whiere the name of the file playing will be displayed. To replay this same recording, tap this left-most button.

The middle button on the Play page would start the recording that was prior to the one you just viewed. This might not be for the time just beforehand, depending if there was any noise then, but for the interval prior during which a noise was detected.

The rightmost button on the Play page deletes the file which you have just viewed.

This app is designed to wake up a snoring sleeper by causing their phone to vibrate when the sound of snoring is detected.

Because the notification is by phone vibration, the device will have to be kept in a pocket or adjacent somehow to the sleeper.

The choice of vibration is to avoid disturbing your partner by the sound of a ringing phone.

There are two Settings options. One choice called Noise Level is the sensitivity threshold which determines how loud a snore will trigger the snore alarm. The default setting of 55 decibels assumes fairly loud snoring and also that the phone be kept close to the head. If after testing, this is found to be not sensitive enough, choose a lower number from the dropdown menu labelled Noise Level.

The second option called Notification changes the type of vibration notification. The default setting signals with an SOS message. The other options are for a shorter or a longer vibration. Note that the signal will repeat at intervals until the red Tap To Stop button is pressed.

To use the app, tap the button Tap To Start and then quietly place the phone in your pyjama pocket or in your pillow. There is a ten second delay at startup to provide enough time to place the device somewhere without falsely triggering the alarm.

You can press the button at the top or side of your phone which darkens the screen. This reduces power consumption and the app is designed to work even when the phone is 'sleeping'.

If you are awoken by the vibration, press Tap To Stop to end the vibration. When you want to return to sleep, restart the app by pressing Tap To Start again.

If you want to listen to the sound which activated the snore notification, tap Replay to hear the sound clip. This recording is saved on the SD card of the phone in the Notes directory. The audio file name is LOUD.

This app records short sound clips, perhaps of noises you hear in nature, or even dictation or music.

There is the option to send an email to a pre-selected email address. This message lists the sound clip name on the SD card and also has a link to Google Maps showing the location where the reading was measured

This version of the Color Match app is optimally designed to fit the Nexus Four screen which is 768 x 1280 pixels, 4.7 inches. It should also work properly on other phones with similar screen sizes. There are two other versions, Color Match (480 x 800 pixels, 3.7 inches)and Color Match for Tablet (800 x 1280 pixels, 7.0 inches)which fit those screen sizes and pixel dimensions.

The Color Match app is used for selecting appropriate matching colors. This is mostly intended for fashion coordination but can also be used for interior decorating, graphic design, weaving, Christmas tree lights, etc.

The app uses four color matching strategies: - matching different shades of the same hue- adjacent colors which are 30 degrees apart on the color wheel- complementary colors which are 180 degrees apart on the color wheel- contrasting colors lying 120 degrees apart on the color wheel

The user first selects their basic color on a detailed color wheel. Then they then can toggle between the four matching strategies.

The app will display up to three matching colors on a swaths page that allows varying the darkness shades till an ideal match is identified.

There is also a handy reference section explaining the theory and practice of color matching.

This app is designed for the use of professional fitness trainers. It works only on a Nexus 7 tablet.

It keeps track of clients, their workouts, and the activities in each workout. The app facilitates observation and measurement of the activities. Emails are automatically sent to the trainer's account to act as a record of various changes and actions.
